Using A Visual Framework to Simplify ETL on Hadoop Without MapReduce or Programming

Join the CTO of HortonWorks, Ari Zilka, and the CTO of Actian, Mike Hoskins as they introduce new YARN-ready technology to manage and analyze data right on the HDFS cluster in a visual framework, without having to use MapReduce or Java programming. This session will address some of the biggest challenges faced by companies trying to do ETL or ELT on Hadoop and highlight how they can reuse existing skills to solve these challenges. They will also discuss how the deep integration of Hadoop and a high-performance analytics engine, like ParAccel Platform, give companies everything they need to proliferate analytics using traditional and emerging data.
